IRRIGATION IS NEEDED
Where Rainfall Is Less Than One
Inch in Fifteen Days.
One of Main Advantages Is That Wa
ter Supply Required for Growth of
Crops Is Largely Under Con
trol of Grower.
(Uy MII.O H WILLIAMS, United Statos
Department of Agriculture )
A climtito having tin nnnuul rain
fall of 20 IncheB or more is Bonerally
regarded aa humid, for where this
amount of rain is fairly well distrib
uted throughout tho year arablo land
can usually be fanned. This meas
ure of aridity divides tho United
States into two nearly equal parts,
east and west, marked by a belt of
semlarid country located near the
ninety-ninth meridian. Although this
division Is based upon the moisture
supply of tho climate, it Is not a trua
index of tho need of irrigation, as"
many sections having an annual rain
fall of more than 20 Inches do pot dur
ing tho growing season receive a de
pendable precipitation suJTlclent for
farming purposes. Rains must como
at such times and in such amounts as
will properly moisten tho soil for tho
preparation of the Beed bed and will
furnish a reasonably constant supply
of moisture to germinate the seed and
develop the plant until it reaches ma
turity. A check in this supply of soil
moisture at any stage of tho growth
affects the quality and quantity of the
yield and may greatly reduce the prof
Its of tho grower. The real teat of
what Is a humid section Is therefore
not the total annual rainfall, but the
monthly, and, In tho case of many
plants, tho weekly amount during the
growing season. Viowed in this light,
irrigation becomes a national need
rather than merely a western prac
tice. There Is perhaps no other industry
so broad or so varied as farming. No
manufacturer encounters so many un
controlled elements and no factory
output is so delicate or perishable or
Hb market so uncertain as that of the
farmer. Ono of the main advantages
of farming under irrigation is that tho
water supply needed for the growth of
crops, which Is one of tho most, if not
the most, uncertain factors in other
farming, Is very largely under the con
trol of tho grower. This advantage,
however, has hitherto scarcely been
grasped by the farmers In the humid
section, and few realize that with a
small outlay an irrigation plant can be
installed which will insure them
against complete or partial crop fail
ures during droughts.
Farming conditions, however, havo
greatly changed in recent years. Tho
soils in many localities no longer pro
duce profitable yields without the ap
plication of artificial fertilizers; tho
value of farm lands has greatly In
creased; farming methods are more
Intensive; more valuable crops are
being grown; and consumers are de
manding a greater variety, a better
quality, and a more constant supply of
delicate farm products. Thus, the
farmer of today is obliged to expend
a largo amount of money to produce a
crop, and if for any cause this crop
is a failure his losses are greater than
in the past. The wheat grower of
Kansas may produce a crop at an av
erage cost of $10 per acre, while tho
citrus grower of southern California
is obliged to spend $400 per acre in
growing and marketing a crop of
ttavel oranges. To insure tho wheat
crop against a possible drought might
not pay, while to insure the orange
crop is an absolute necessity, for If
the pumping plants which raise water
from tho bed of the Santa Ana river
for the orange orchards of Riverside,
Cal., wore to be shut down that region
would In time revert to a desert. Al
though tho annual precipitation In the
citrus regions of Florida Is EB Inches,
while that at Riverside Is only 10.74
inches, ono should not concludo that
irrigation is not necessary In the for
mer, as there are periods when loss
than 1 Inch of rain falls In 30 days,
and at such times tho application of a
small amount of water may be follow
ed by as good results as at River
side. Under averago conditions it is safe
to say a drought occurs whenever tho
precipitation in any 15-day period falls
below 1 Inch. It has been tho writer's
obseravtlon that crops will usually
suffer if they do not receive consider
ably more than this amount of rain,
especially during the spring and early
summer months. Later in the season
this quantity may not bo needed, ex
cepting for late garden truck and some
fruits.
Cost of Raising Chicks.
According to the New York agri
cultural experiment station tho cost
of food, per chick, to weigh ono pound,
on ground grain, Ib three cents; on
whole grain, three and seven-tenths
cents. After making repeated tests In
feeding, this station says the ground
grain ration proved considerably more
profitable than the whole grain ration
with tho growing chicks, and the same
was true of capons of equal weight
from theso chicks, and from others
of equal weight and age fed alike be
fore capontzlng
Best Feed for Hogs.'
Corn Is tho best feed there is for
hogs, but its full value can only bo
realized when it is used in conjunc
tion with other feeds.
Raising 8quabs.
It costs about six cents to raise n
squab of five weeks of age.
IRRIGATION FOR THE PASTURE
Where Land Is Heavy Sod Water
Should Be Allowed to Run for Day
or Two to Soak It.
Pasture land that is in heavy sod
does not let tho water soak lri readily;
therefore It is nccossary to havo tho
wator running for a day or two In tho
satno place. If cattle or horses aro
allowed on tho land while tho water 1b
running they will cut the sod up con
siderably, and by trampling nnd "pud
dling" the ground will sometimes kill
out some varieties of graBs for ono
Reason. My practice Is to havo the
pasture divided by a fence, wrltcB J
A. Harkhoff of Cascado county, in tho
Breeders Gazette. Then ono part
can be pastured whilo tho other
is Irrigated. As Boon ns the
ground is dry on top ono may turn
tho stock into it nnd Irrigate tho other
part. The practice of keeping tho
stock off part or tho field at a time
also gives tho grasa a chance to make
a better start.
On our clay-loam here, for a pasturo
that 1b only to bfc used for n couple of
years, wo seed timothy, alslke clover,
alfalfa and a sprinkling or peronnlnl
ryo grass. Where a permanent pas
turo Is wanted we use Austrinn bromo
grass (Bromus inermis) with a sprink
ling of alslke and nlfalfa. Tho
Bronie grass has tho advantago of be
ing able to withstand close pasturing
and much trnmpllng. It also comes
earlier in tho spring than the others.
Drome grass is difficult to eradlcato
when tho pasturo is broken up for field
crops.
Tho pastures should never bo grazed
closely. The grass, nnd especially tho
clovers, .should get high enough to al
low a clipping to be made with tho
mower once during the season.
IRRIGATE WITH TOMATO CANS
Easy and Effective Way to Start

The following is an easy and effect

er in tho Popular Mechnnlcs. Tamp
the dirt aiound both plant and can,
and fill the latter with water. Keep
the can filled until the plant Is out of
danger.
Irrigation Plant.
Every grower should aim to control
all cultural conditions as far as pos
sible. This can often bo done by in
stalling an irrigating plant. Losses
from froBt can be avoided sometimes
by coveilng plants with soil, straw or
other mulches. Insects nnd diseases
may be avoided In various ways. It
1b true that losses are bound 10 oc
cur, but their frequency can be great
ly limited by the application of scl
ence and tho exorcise of good Judg
ment.
Give cows plenty of salt. Keep it
before them at all times.
It is usually a question whether or
not it Is advisable to feed grain to
cowb on pasture.
The good dairy cow usually Is wide
In the forehead, the face dished be
tween the eyes, with a strong under
Jaw.
Salt tho butter only enough to keep
it. Salt increases the weight but little
and too much spoils tho quality of the
butter.
Fence breakers are educated by poor
fences but having poor feed Insjde the
pasture nnd good feed Just outsido Is
the best educator.
Often the only difference between a
gentle cow and a kicker Is that tho
first had a little handling while a
heifer, and tho other didn't.
Use tho best grnde of oil you can
buy for the separator Tho difference
In cost Is little but the difference In
satisfaction Is a groat deal.
The men who suffer least during tho
dry season are the dairy fanners They
always have an income, for there Is al
ways tome crop that can be fed profit
ably to tho cowb.
Wherever you find a well kept farm
you will find tho grain raised on It Is
fed to stock right on tho place Far
mers uro fast finding out that tho best
pajlng stock is dairy cows.
Watch tho cow that comes in fresh
in good pasture. It is Just at this tiino
of tho ear that many of tho best milk
ers are spoiled or partly spoiled. Don't
neglect them a single hour.
Many turn tho cowb out when tho
first spears of grass como. Better wait
until they can got a good bite. When
tllO COWB do not get enough irrnHH Ihnv
will go hungry before eating dry feed.
